The Police Timeline of the Texas School Shooting Has a Lot of Holes | via @VICENews h/t @ItsKey_70sbaby #PunIntended #GunReformNow #WhenGoodGuysWithGunsGoWrong vice.com/en/article/pkp…
“Investigators ‘still grabbing’ information about Texas school shooting as families search for answers” #Uvalde #DemandReform #DemandTheTruth #DemandJustice twitter.com/i/events/15291…
“They create the conditions they lament then refuse all the viable remedies.” They put shit tons of assault weapons on the streets to justify further militarization of America’s police force, which still hasn’t demonstrated competence or capability of neutralizing mass shooters. Image
And it’s clearly NOT a well-regulated militia if anyone can possess a firearm without the slightest obligation to prove they don’t plan to use it to kill themselves/others. *No MH provider* can save ANY of us from a person who isn’t acutely committable at the time of possession.
Unfortunately a lot of y’all are still drastically OVERESTIMATING the power & authority of psychiatrists and mental health courts, especially in a gun fetishism state like Texas. I’ve seen guns briefly held by cops but very soon returned to previously suicidal/homicidal patients.
Beyond that, if a patient tells you they have a gun but have no intention of hurting themselves or others with it today, that isn’t a permanent guarantee that those feelings or life circumstances won’t change outside of your office. Who do y’all think is policing all of that? 🧐
If my next visit with said gun-owning patient isn’t until 3 months from now, what fairy godmother do you think is responsible for making sure he/she doesn’t have a bad day and decide to break whatever promises they made to me, everyone else they know and/or their higher power?
I mean… IDK who’s gonna do that for each and every last one of the millions of gun owners who either 1) do have a psychiatric diagnosis, or 2) have never met the criteria (yet), thus would never even end up on the MH radar. It sure as fuck won’t be Greg, Dan, John or Ted though.
“Multiple calls made from classrooms during #Uvalde shooting as police waited in hallway, officials say” | Yet another problem our mental health system can’t fix: cowardly, complicit cops who refuse to protect & serve because they’re outgunned by an AR-15. twitter.com/i/events/15291…
Yes and many thanks for perfectly illustrating why the entire @GOP is blowing unregulated militia gunsmoke up everyone’s asses. Psychiatrists aren’t mind-readers & everyone who sees us ain’t 100% honest 100% of the time. Ban assault weapons NOW & stop scapegoating mental illness. Image
Oh and btw @Robin1226, we don’t just ask about guns b/c insurance forces us to, it’s a standard preventive medicine & personal/public safety question that PCPs are increasingly asking b/c 1) America has a gun violence epidemic & 2) America has a massive shortage of psychiatrists.

After years of xenophobic klan sentiment on the GOP campaign trail, the El Paso shooter drove ~10 hrs to gun down Hispanic Texans on White supremacy/nationalism’s behalf. The anti-Haitian rhetoric propagated by Trump/Vance/MAGA isn’t just a hateful lie, it’s stochastic terrorism.

Nobody gets to pretend the writing hasn’t been on the wall since Birtherism and Trump’s promise to build a wall but make Mexico pay for it. They tell us to “remember the Alamo” but expect us to forget El Paso, Buffalo, Pittsburgh (Tree of Life) and the Atlanta spa shootings.

I don’t wanna hear shit else about Trump or the GOP “toning down their rhetoric” when the volume of the klan rally’s been at 💯 since 9/11 which is technically only a slight uptick from what they’ve been doing to Indigenous, Black and Brown people on American soil for CENTURIES.

If JD doesn’t know any professional women who are happily married moms, he should just say that. 🙄 I had my 1st son 6 weeks before my Masters graduation/3 months before residency. My 2nd son was born 2 weeks before residency graduation. I prioritize EVERYTHING altogether, MFer!

This reminds me of 1 of my fave scenes in 1 of my fave movies, ‘Baby Boom’, when J.C. (Diane) finally accepts motherhood/a career change and tells her male colleagues, “I don’t want it all.” We’ve learned how to juggle kids & work without being miserable. vice.com/en/article/did…
Which is also why chauvinistic jerks like JD have so much shit to talk about us. They’re mad that their ploy to make motherhood & marriage incompatible with a profession has failed miserably and that they still have to compete and share power with us in the workforce and at home.

I recently saw a patient whom I’ve been seeing for almost 6 months and when I asked how he’s been doing since our last visit 6 weeks ago, among a laundry list of stressors, he said “there’s gonna be a civil war and I’m gonna end up dead.” 🥴🫣
It was telling b/c he’d never uttered that type of rhetoric with me before & the only thing that changed between visits was Biden passing the torch to Kamala. He mentioned it in passing then quickly moved onto something else but he said it like civil war was suddenly inevitable.
The other thing is I don’t know his political alignment and we’ve never discussed it but when White men of a certain age and geography say shit like that all I hear is nostalgia for the Confederacy. 🤷🏾‍♀️ They’re reflexively threatening civil war in anticipation of electoral defeat.

This ‘Kamala’ pronunciation/enunciation lesson and group project with @kerrywashington is the bees fucking knees!!! 🔥🐝🔥🐝🔥 #DNC2024
The synergy of the Women’s Suffrage and Mom’s Demand movement themes is stunning. It’s not just that heartbreaking and unjust conditions spurred political action in both instances, it’s that success for both movements requires *smashing the patriarchy into tiny shards of glass*.
She called him an “unserious man” and we went on up to the upper room. 💀☠️

Don’t buy the idea of “red” states perpetually never being in play, especially when said states have also been “blue” and/or purple in recent elections. Don’t buy the idea that time/resources are a “waste” when they’re spent on mobilizing apathetic and/or disenfranchised voters.
Image
And especially don’t buy either of those ideas from someone who identifies as a “MAGA original/founder” who’s only anti-Trump now b/c he turned out to be the colossal fucking disaster and international embarrassment we told them he would be…
🗣️ Do NOT let allegedly reformed Republicans reverse psychology you out of showing up to vote Democratic up & down the ballot in ALL 50 states & DC. Do NOT let the mind fuck of GOP inevitability stop you from turning or keeping your state blue. When WE fight, WE WIN. Vote to WIN.

I don’t doubt that 4 years as VP honed many of Kamala’s skills but I also don’t doubt that the energy the MSM and casual observers are so shocked and awed to see at her 2024 rallies is the EXACT same energy she engendered from her supporters in 2020. Y’all are just late as fuck.
And what chaps my hide about it most is the main justification given is “her 2020 campaign failed” when she actually ended her campaign in December 2019. Primary voting didn’t start until February. She left to wait in the wings for Biden’s win and VP pick. npr.org/2019/12/03/784…
She was already a superstar on the campaign trail & millions of us couldn’t wait to cast a vote for her. We were heartbroken that she left the stage before the rest of the country had a chance to see what we saw, which is also why we were so fired up & ready to go for her as VP.
